Nah. The 90's were late, this still felt like the 80's to me. The 90's didn't start until the opening riff of Smells like Teen Spirit

I may be an old rocker raised on a diet of Black Sabbath, Led Zepplin, Deep Purple, AC/DC and bands like that; but "Groove Is In The Heart" triggers responsible cells in my brain to trigger the funk muscles in my body and before I realize it I am getting groovy... baby 💯

Not only is her fashion from the GROOVY 60’s but so is her dancing! I did all of those moves 60 years ago and still today! Groove is in the 60’s!

As a bouncer back in the day this was a nightly song and always filled the dance floor.

1) This is one of a handful of songs that manages to trick my brain into thinking I can groove. 2) I don't like club/dance music, but this song gets played at volume level 11 3) Lady Miss Kier, with Q-Tip, Bootsy Collins, and Maceo Parker = 🔥 4) Lady Miss Kier is one of the sexiest women in music ever. I had the biggest crush on her back in the day! 5) Great channel, y'all!

The reason this song is such a throwback - and was a throwback 30 years ago, is that the bass line is from the 1966 Herbie Hancock song Bring Down the Birds.

Oh, bless your heart…

This music is considered house music where the background music is usually sampled and the vocals are soulful and the lyrics are positive and meaningful. This group is comprised of Lady Miss Kier, DJ Tei Towa (the Japanese guy) and DJ Dmitry (the Russian guy). You should react to more of their music like Power Of Love,, Runaway, Bittersweet Loving and Say Aaah please.

There's no way you can sit still watching this video

Yep, the fashion statement and graphics are retro-sixties/seventies MOD/psychedelic. Turn up the Bass more! Everybody liked this one. Blondie started out Punk in NYC during the mid-seventies, but not commercially viable, so branched out across genres as the Disco Craze grew and hit it big, yet kept their Punkish edge. X OFFENDER, KIDNAPPER, SHAYLA, BERMUDA TRIANGLE BLUES (flight 45). I was born in the mid-fifties, yet enjoy '80s music mostly (if you include '79, with stuff like Gary Numan's CARS, and ARE 'FRIENDS' ELECTRIC?).

So much fun. This one never gets old.

This song is widely considered the milepost for the end of the 80's and the start of the 90's.

I stop EVERYTHING when this comes on!!!!

One of my all time favorite one hit wonders.

"_How do you say the groovy...." that was all they need to fill the dancefloors back then, an absolute floorfiller. Sadly most "reactors" just do this one, of course it was their biggest hit, but they made three great albums. First one was a pop album drenched in the most infectious house rhythms; second one, still dancey but with a soul twist and third, an eclectic though balanced mixture of house, rave, jungle and kitschy pop. Another example of short sight record label managment, they just wanted to sell them as a dance act and they were much more deep than that; plus, their singer, Miss Kier Kirby had an extenuatelly long battle with their label (electra) that wouldn't let her use her own name. They even were invited to perform at the prestigious Montreaux jazz festival, respect the groove, respect Deee Lite 👍👋

Shout out to the great Maceo Parker on sax, too. Pass the Peas, brother.

NYC!!! (Got it!) That’s how they knew Q-Tip.

This song is a throwback even for the 90s. It's produced by Bootsy Collins, the bassist for James Brown and Parliament Funkadelic. The main groove is Herby Handcock, who was among other things was the pianist for Miles Davis(By my personal estimation the 2nd or 3rd most important American musician of the 20th century). Another bit was taken from another James Brown contemporary that Bootsy worked with back in the day. And then another bit by A Tribe Called Quest. All together musicians from the 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s come together to create one song in the 90s as a kind of one off joke song for fun. And it's awesome.

And Bootsy Collin’s in here too

The 80's & 90's vibe in this song were just mimicking the 60's & 70's groove period-- the true "mod" aesthetic after the hippy period. Thx, P & S!

Had the cd in college back then. Loved to turn it up and dance around the living room. Such a fun song.

Man this song is everything, love it!

As a lifetime rocker I've loved this song since day one 🤷‍♂️❤

The chick in pink is doing all the dance moves from the '70s which is cool

The sound of my first foreign (from England)holiday in 1990! The clubs of Kavos in Corfu pumped it loud, non-stop! 😉

I love this song and it's great to dance to. The Lady Miss Kier Kirby has a great voice.

This song was EVERYWHERE!!! This is the skating rink song.

1990! MTV Days!!!! 🖤🖤

Man you took me back wow 😯 lol 😂 black and white kids was jamming to this back then not gonna lie

Hey guys - groovy selection and I am glad you dug it, as I do! I would recommend a tune called "Connected" by a group by the name of Stereo MCs, it's one of my favorites from the same era. Peace & Love to All...

This came out my first year of college and was absolutely huge and on huge rotation in the clubs

I remember in the 90's that there was a resurgence of 60's psychedelic disco style for a short moment

This entire album (World Clique) is _FIRE!!_

Iconic for me. Never fets old from their day one viewing.

This song is pure art. It is a Masterpiece. They joined a legendary funky bassist (Bootsy Collin’s), a legendary soul saxophonist (Maceo Parker), a brilliant hip hop guy (Q Tip), an American singer, a Russian dj, a Japanese dj, and a slowed down Herbie Hancock’s famous bass line (“Bring down the birds”), mixed them all together and gave us this Pearl!!👏🏻👏🏻🚀🚀

some songs hit perfection ... The B52s 'Loveshack' are such an example, and so is 'Groove Is In The Heart" by Dee Lite. perfect song, perfect video, and can be played for hours on loop ... and I say that as someone who listened to Nick Cave and Sonic Youth at the time, and is mostly into Metal nowadays.

Shades of 80's hip hop/funk 70's disco 60's fashion 80's - 90's evolution/transitioning

Awesome dance song, club days MTV Days 🎤👏😎👌🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

There can be no doubt about it's groovy credentials.

I remain impressed with her smmmoooth moves. That girl could wiggle and dance!

This song was everywhere when I was a kid.

My kids loved this when it came out so I've heard this thousands of times, Very loud!

That’s Bootsy Collins with this short comments. You guys should check out some George Clinton or Parliament Funkadelic. Flash Light, Knee-Deep and more.

This song transcended music tastes when it came out.

I love her dancing.

That immaculate human at the beginning on the bass who says, "Dig!", is none other than Bootsie Collins, bassist for James Brown and The Parliament Funkadelics.

I'm a Metal fan through and through. Problem with that, the girls were NOT at metal shows so I also went to a lot of dance clubs in the 90's. This song bring back so many memories and to this day I can't sit still when I hear it.

The essential messaging here is extra-extra FUN! Combine genres, subgenres, and musical decades. Add a bit of tongue-in-cheek, and have some FUN!

all that flavor PLUS bootsy, bernie worrell AND q-tip?!! funktastic.

Q-tip (Tribe Called Quest) on the rap verse and Bootsie Collins (P-Funk) on the adlibs and bass guitar.

This was a huge, huge song & the video was on MTV all the time. It's 1990 so it was absolutely bridging the 80s & 90s. We had a resurgence of psychedelic at the time.

We loved to dance and have fun. Example Deee-lite. 😁💖

I went through a big club music phase and this was a top favorite. I still turn it up when I want to get in a good mood. It’s a fun one!

one of the first defining 90s songs.

Best dance track ever and I rarely dance. The hook will stick to you like rice tomorrow.

Q Tip was just starting out. Tribe just released their debut album 4 months prior to this feature, (1990) which was actually helpful with launching his and his group's careers. He was just warming up. By 93 A Tribe Called Quest was Hip Hop greatness.

Just as much fun live.

This is a song I knew for many years but didn't know the group name until KZread reactions.

Excellent fun and so damned groovy

Dude i remember hearing this in clubs back when I was 18 years old... I'm now 51, so yeah its been a minute

When this song was big, a bunch of us went to LA to party for a long weekend. It was a disastrous trip for a few of them, and we had a very awkward 7-hour drive back to SF. The guy who owned the car we were in played this song on repeat for the Entire 7 hours!

Yes, it was the 90s and in Madrid we danced to this song like crazy in a club called Stella. The people were like the ones in the video. beautiful and very funny people

Makes me smile every time I hear it, have it on 45 vynal

They were definitely going for a 60s/70s retro vibe with the video. By this time music videos had advanced past the early 80s video quality but this group obviously was going budget on the video a bit.

This song is a classic!!! I love it.

Groovy, baby, groovy.

I think that they wanted this to be a song that people would hit the dance floor no matter how silly you look while dancing. Basically everybody should have the experience having the fun and joy of dancing without any judgement.

TOTALLY LOVE THIS VIBE!!! :) THANKS, YOU-GUYS!!

Before I watch this video, I will say, this is one of my favorite songs of all time, at least in the top 20. I don’t play it every day, but when I do I get down because the groove is in the heart baby.

In those days we all had a (diff'rent) groove in our hearts... We loved it and respected it from eachother, we lived and learned.

Ooh this is a classic. I feel like this was in a whole bunch of movies and end of movie credits and stuff. Damn, throwback

This is fantastic. Just makes me want to dig into the 90s vibe again. There are sooo many great hip hop songs from back then. Missy Elliott, Mary J. Blige, Black Street, Tupac's California Love etc. Great era.

A floorfiller, enough said 🕺

The entire "World Clique" album is fantastic. Every song on it is great.

The sax player who wanders in and out towards the end is the legend, Maceo Parker! He was in James Brown’s band, along with Bootsy Collins!

This was very late '80s I had a DJ promotion copy of it in '89 so, it was before 'A Tribe Called Quest' made it big which was in '91, even though they formed in '88, that's why 'Q-Tip' didn't get billing from the group, the female singer 'Lady Miss Kier' (who was also a DJ) and 'Bootsy Collins' on bass. Parts of this have been sampled, the first time was by, "A Tribe Called Quest - Can I Kick It (Extended Boilerhouse Mix)", "SecondCity and George Smeddles - Groove Is In", "Latino Party - Arriba!", "The Orb - Perpetual Dawn (Solar Youth Mix)", "The Reflex - Groove Is In The Heart (The Reflex Revision)", "Towa Tei feat' Kylie Minogue - GBI: German Bold Italic", "Girl Talk - Step To It". There may be others but these are the ones that I know of.

Such a great song from my teen years! I was a child of the 80s and a teen/early 20s in the 90s. You couldn’t go to a club without hearing this one. You gotta love the rap in the middle by Q-tip from Tribe Called Quest and the late great Roger Troutman!

Dee-Lite is a suuuper dance music group!!! I miss them!! Their songs played a loooooooooot in South América, Brazil and Europe. 😍😍😍😍🥰

I always wanted more from Dee Light, and we did get a little, but they weren't as ambitious as most of the soulless chart toppers; they seemed to be the real deal, music lovers who had their moment and didn't wish to outstay their welcome, or join a dodgy industry for the rest of their lives.
